Overview
About Me
For 3 years I lived from my savings and experiemented with alternative ways of living. This allowed me to be independent from a permanent job, education programm or job center. In this time I traveled through Europe and parts in the US, questioned society and gender, developed a skateboarding/longboarding programm for girls* and discovered art as an important way to express myself.
That was the most influential time in my life and teached me a lot about this world, also my own privileges. Today I run my own business in web design on online marketing, which allows me to spend my time doing art and political work.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In Belarus/Grodno I was hosted by a couchsurfer for the first time in my life and he took great care of me. Since then I hosted people from Sweden, Russia, US, France in my house. I'm queer and I prefer to be hosted by and host women/queer people. But most important is that we treat each other respectful.
Couchsurfing is a wonderful opportunity to meet locals and get insights into their culture. I just need some space and time for myself to rest in the end of the day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To start skateboarding 13 years ago was the best thing in my life! Freedom, independence, art, easy connection to new people, abandoned places, traveling, risk and adrenaline... it's a culture I felt part of most in my life.
Another thing I've done was to decide for a life without steady job, but for just doing what I wanna do. In nearly three years I came much closer to myself and got a much better understanding of the world. It was lifechanging.
Teach, Learn, Share
I´m a good listener. I can show you, how to take good pictures, how to skateboard and how to swim. I can also teach you German and build up your own Blog with wordpress.
I share thoughts about politics, philosophy, psychology, the universe, magic, meaning of life, emotions. I like deep talk as much as easy going time..
I really want to learn how to survive in the nature :) In general I want to learn basic words of languages.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I cosy flat in Berlin and a beautiful neighborhood, where hipster and punks live together. If I can make time we can go to restaurants, bars or in clubs. If you need help anywhere, I can try to help you or to find friends who can.
